Wilson amped for Raiders after 'slap in face'

Watch out, Oakland Raiders. Detroit Lions defensive lineman C.J. Wilson is taking Sunday's game personally. Very personally.

The Raiders cut Wilson — for the second time this season — on Nov. 8, and the Lions claimed him off of waivers the next day.

"I'm taking this as a personal game," Wilson said. "It's like my Super Bowl. I take pride in getting ready this week. Everything matters, from practice to the way I watch my film this week.

"I'm taking it as a personal game for me; the team that let me go. It's not every year you get to play a team that let you go the next week.
